A new poll released today by Bloomberg News finds all that hopey-changey stuff is rapidly turning to disappointment and disenchantment. While 47% of all voters approve of Obama's job now, ominously for 2012 only 36% of onetime Obama supporters now approve. Feeling jilted? Someone named Hillary Clinton is now viewed favorably by fully 64% of Americans, even more than like Obama's wife.
Something about a stubborn national unemployment rate of 9.6% despite $700+ billion in non-stimulating stimulus spending and promises to keep the jobless rate below 8%.
Something about consecutive federal deficits of $1,291,000,000,000 and $1,416,000,000,000 despite that campaign promise to go through the budget line by line. Something about a controversial healthcare bill that a near-majority of Americans would like repealed.
On foreign policy, now that all the troops are on station from Obama's second Afghanistan troop surge, six in 10 Americans believe the 9-year-old war is a lost cause. Etc.
Unemployment is the country's top concern, as it has been for the entire Obama administration, even when he was holding more than five dozen healthcare townhalls. The deficit is the No. 2 concern.
In fact, almost two out of three Americans believe the country is on the wrong track under President Obama.
Which is not typically how congressional leaders like Democrats Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would like the country to feel after 46 months of their Capitol Hill reign of error.
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy NOT. The fraud's problem from day one is that he wouldn't listen to the people and kept having town halls on health care when the country was looking to him for leadership in the jobs area. He has either been completely deaf to Americans, or he just doesn't give a $hit.
